Glory sign Spanish winger Castro

He's scored against Real Madrid, and now Perth Glory's newest recruit Diego Castro Gimenez has set his sights on lighting up the A-League.

Castro has been lured to Perth as the club's new international marquee, with the Spaniard's arrival a major boost following the departures of attacking stars Andy Keogh, Jamie Maclaren, and Youssouf Hersi.

The 33-year-old has spent the majority of his career in Spain's La Liga, most recently at Getafe CF.
